Gladstone asked anxiously what he was doing about it. ' , "

"Nothing." said Salisbury. "Noth- ing: hope it will-pass." ' '

"Lady Warwick declares that one oi the ﬁrst’ women she ever knew who smoked cigarettes was Princess Char-

iormer German Emperor.

"1 found her one; at Buckingham Palace sitting in her bedroomsmok- ing at- an open ‘window, and letting

case Queen Victoria should iind out." she chuckles. "The Queen had absolutely torbidden smoking in any part ed the palace. and to have iound a‘ lady smoking in her bedroom would doubtless have been horrifying to her." -

Another of Lady Warwick's stories is about Rodin who did a marble por- trait o! her. now in the Rodin collec- tionin‘ New York City. Alter sris had sat {or him. Rodin went to stay with the Wsrwicks on the Riviera. One night s violent storm arose during which Lady Warwick's bedroom door blew open. She went to shut it and there in the passage outside, she saw ‘the’ old‘ sculptor in night attire topped by an inimitable French nlghtcap-a comical ﬁgure. a .

"Together-we descended to the kit- chem-but the householdhad gone to ‘bed and the lire was out," recalls Lady Warwick. “I set to work to light the ﬁre and blew it up with all patience until I got the kettls to boll. My old friend then produced a screw oi’ dirty newspapers in which he had the spe-

Lady Warwick lives at Dunmew. Essex. (o! Flltch o! Bacon iamc).and has H. G. Wells tor a. neighbor. In tact, the Wells home is on the War- wick éststs.

Esex has long been a favored re- sidential county tor writers.

Edison never could get accus‘ ’ to large sums o! money and the story is told by Edward W. Bolt that upon receiving a check for $40,000 tram the Western Union tor one oi’ his early inventions Edison didn't know what to _do with lt. but ilnally took it t0 the bank. . '

"What do you wish to do with thislwasked the cashier.

"I don't know." answered Edison. "do you?"

O O O

Thscaehier consulted the back pre- sident. It was decided to pay Edison in bills o! small denomination and send. s detective behind hint to see that he got homepsalely. When Edi- son was handed the small mountain o! bills. he looked at the bank presi- dent. smiled. and still thought he was being joked with. When it dawned on him that the money was really his. he naively asked the president:

"wrisvn I do-iwith it?"

‘The bank onioisi took compassion on him. showed him how to open an account and draw checks against it.

"Am I to understand you, ma'am. tha _i1 this bill becomes law and my wi! had some money leit her. I should. have to ask her tor it?"

"I was "obliged to coniess." explain- ed Mrs. Fawcott. “that lie would have to suﬂer this humiliation. and then I got no more signatures."

when Mrs. Fawcett was staying in Ireland in days gone by she visited Townsend Trench who managed a large estate in Kerry. He told her that he was trequently consulted by young men on the estate when they were contemplating marriage as to the di- section in which they should allow their ailcctions to tiow.

For instance, a young Iellow came to tell Mr. Trench that he had practi- cally a. choics between two girls. One had a cow and two pigs; the other- his iavorite-had a. cow and one pig. He wanted ‘French's advice upon the ilnal casting o1 the die.

O O O

Trench did not hesitate for a mo- merit. but said: '

"Why. marry the girl with the cow and two pigs! There's not, tho diﬂer- ence o! a pig between any two wo- men in the world.”

“I have seen this story in print in various iorms." said Mrs. Fawcett. when telling the story. “but I think Mr. Trench was entitléd to claim it as his own." I

Which recalls astory told by Charles Kingston (in "Judge's and. the Judg- ed") about a rnvishingly prettyyoung Irish girl who had been jiltod by her lover. She sued him for breach of promise o! marriage. In Ireland the French dot system prevails, and it was upon ascertaining that the girl's lath- er was heavily in debt and would be unable to provide a dowry, that the young man. a tanner, had broken oi! the engagement. .

At. the trial it was apparent that both Judge and jury were with the plaintiﬁ trom the beginning. When the young man took the stand. the judge asked him:

success for the new Whippet.

Prorn/ an engineering standpoint, too, the new Whippet is the most advanced car in its class. Ir is the only low-priced car that offers all these im-

ortnnt ndvanga es; extra-long

go: bodies an roomier interiors; oversize bal- loon tires, shock absorbers and longer springs for greater riding comfort; big, four-wheel brakes— more braking area than any competitive car; higher compression engine for more s eed, power and pick-up; invar-strur pistons; full orce-feed lubrica- tion; silent timing chain; “Finger-Tip Control"; and, in the Six, a seven-bearing crankshaft. Yet, with all its superiorities of design and con- struction, Whippefs price is so low as to make i: the outstanding Four or Six value. Dependable performance and low operating costs make Whip- peﬂs upkeep a negligible factor in your budget.
